I have a question about the value of an IMSAI 8080.
Say someone had a nice, working IMSAI 8080 in decent condition. How
much, realistically, could one expect to sell this for?
Say someone had an IMSAI 8080, in pieces, the working condition being
unknown. How much, realistically, could one expect to sell this for?
Now I have a question about a Victor-9000.
Victor 9000, working...how much?
Victor 9000, bad floppy controller...how much?
Thanks!

You should realize that you can still buy every part in the IMSAI 8080A
and associated boards and peripherals. You could build your own from
scratch for a few hundred $ (+ your time making the PC boards and
doing the sheet metal work.) I've done this, and it's called
[drum roll...] the TIMSAI. See my past posts on comp.os.cpm for
more details about "the original" and "the improved" (aka
"IEEE-696
compliant") versions.
Does this mean original parts? Also does it include the front
plexiglass overlay? When I got my Imsai about 10 years ago (it came
with a business I bought), someone had modified the Silkscreening to say
"Zenrad Northstar Z80A". It would be nice to have the original front
overlay!

All the parts are still available. C&K makes the
exact same
front panel switches to this day (they'll run you US$7 or so each,
which really adds up fast!), and 8080A's are still available from
places like Jameco. The date codes won't all be from 1975-76
when you're done, but who cares?
Out of curiosity, are the schematics and/or assembly manual freely
available anywhere on-line?

I am very interested in building one. How do I find the address of C&K?
